Chapter 17: Haunting Pasts (Part 3)

A brown haired boy, about the age of seven was wincing behind the school, his bullies surrounding him.

"Ha! As expected of a dame.. Cant fight!" One of the boys laughed and his lackeys soon joined him.

Tsuna winced at the bruises and blood all around him.

'Did I do something wrong again..?' He thought lifelessly.

'Did I upset them for doing nothing?'

'I never did anything to them.. Yet.. Yet.. They beat me up!' The brunette fumed inwardly.

He did nothing wrong didn't he?

He kept his grades up.

He was the top of the class.

He did great in sports.

He tried to make friends.

But what did he get after his hard work?

He was pushed away.

He was bullied and abused.

He wasn't accepted.. Yet Again.

Tsuna winced as he stood up but only to be pushed back down on the cold, hard ground.

'If I were Sky27 right now..' Tsuna scowled inwardly.

He would have killed them already.

Suddenly, the air's temperature dropped down and the laughter of his bullies died down.

Tsuna looked at the ground, Anger visible in his eyes as hated words ran in his mind.

"A dame like you shouldn't exist!"

"Why cant you be like your brothers?"

'I can never be like my brothers.. Why am I always stuck in their shadows?' Clenching his fists, he stood up and looked at the bullied with sharp eyes that turned Orangish-Black.

The leader got frightened and ran away and the others followed.

Tsuna sighed and dusted himself, getting a set of bandages in his pocket he started patching himself up.

'I just don't get this world... Why am I the victim of its schemes..?'

~~~~~

"Where's Tsu-nii?" Iesamu asked his older brother, Nayoshi.

"I think he's behind the school.." Nayoshi pointed out and they both ran there.

They saw their older brother all bruised and blood was stained on his clothes and hands.

"Tsu, what happened to you??" Nayoshi rushed to his Onii-chan and Iesamu followed.

Tsuna just smiled a fake smile and assured them that he was alright.

The two just went with their brother's word, but they knew something was wrong.

Tsuna had always been hiding something from them. His smile didn't reach his ears and they had never seen the child's real smile.

Walking silently back to their classrooms.

Thoughts were running in the three Sawadas minds.

-----/

The classes ended and Tsuna had another Beating in front of the school by different people this time.

Many people were around them.. But did they help?

No.

"I never did like people, their gazes can be the end of me, all they do is stare and never help." Tsuna muttered under his breath.

"Huh? Did you says something Dame-Tsuna?" The kid pulled Tsuna's brown fluffy hair up, making the brunette wince and face him.

The kid threw Tsuna forcefully on the floor, making Tsuna's face hit the rocky floor.

'No!! My face!' Tsuna thought, not even caring about the pain but his face.

His head started bleeding and Nayoshi and Iesamu ran into the scene.

"Get away from Tsu-nii!" Iesamu threatened and the bullies scattered.

"Tsu! Tsu!" Nayoshi kept calling out but got no reply making him think his brother died.

But...

'No!! My innocent hot adorable face!! Damn them!!' Tsuna kept shouting profanities in his head as his face was all scarred now.

"Tsu!" He heard a sob and he sat up like nothing happened though his face was bleeding which annoyed him.

"Yeah?" He questioned, wiping some blood from his head and nose.

"You're alive!!" His two brothers hugged him and Tsuna raised a brow.

"Did I die?" He questioned with a fake chuckle.

"Mn.. You weren't replying! We've been calling you for three minutes now!" Nayoshi frowned as he wiped tears from his brown narrow eyes.

"Ehh.. Gomen.." Tsuna apologized as he stood up like he wasn't beat up at all.

"Herbivores." A voice rang out behind them and they saw the school prefect with his black tonfas.

"HIEEE!! Hibari-san!" The three Sawadas chorused. The other one acting as if he were scared.

"For causing destruction in Namimori Elementary.. I'll bite you to death!"

"HIIEEE!!" The three ran away from the ravenette.

Tsuna was at home, doing some hacking.

But somehow...

His head snapped to the East of Namimori. There was a big and terrifying presences there with an amount of huge immense power.

Tsuna sighed as his intuition told him to go there.

Knowing it might be a mafioso, he decided to go there with an innocent facade on.

Grabbing his gloves that were given by Giotto, Vongola Primo which he recently just met.

He dashed down stairs and left.

--///

A Year Ago

Tsuna was sitting on a swing in Namimori park, all alone.

Giotto felt pity looking at his great-great-great-great grandson.

He then appeared in front of him, shocking the six year old brunette.

"Who are you?" Tsuna asked in a sharp and commanding voice - which was cute to Giotto's ears - and a supposedly glare which turned into a pout, was plastered on Tsuna's dace.

"Kyaa~ My CuteAdorableSweetKindLittleCute Grandson!!!!" Giotto squealed, hugging the confused brunette.

Tsuna tried to push the unknown man in front of him but his small hands passed through him.

'An illusion..?' He thought warily.

But his intuition didn't say that the man was dangerous.

Soon, the man let go and introduced himself to Tsuna as the Vongola Primo and his great-great-great-great Grandfather.

"My time has come.. My CuteAdorableSweetKindLittleCuteGrandson.."

Tsuna sweat dropped, 'he called me cute twice..'

"Take these gloves, they will help you with your journey.." Giotto said as he held out a pair of mittens that has '27' on it.

That said, Giotto disappeared, leaving his so-said CuteAdorableSweetKindLittleCuteGrandson in daze.

End of Flashback

-/I AM A LINE, NOT REALLY.\-

Tsuna ran to the East of Namimori and saw 8 adults with a huge amount of immense power.

His intuition was yelling, "You're crazy! Im out! Ain't nobody got time for that!"

But he shrugged and walked closer to the group of men and women.

"Ano.. Who are you?" Tsuna asked.

"Huh? A Japanese Boy! Kora!" The blonde stated in Italian which Tsuna understood.

"I can speak Italian too.." Tsuna said as his eyes sparkled with interest.

The man with the fedora and was In a suit, smirked, amused of the Brunette.

"Japanese will be fine." He said and the brunette nodded all happy.

He couldn't read the brunette though. He couldn't read what was going in the brunette's mind.

"Im Tsunayoshi by the way! Who are you people? Are you new here?" Tsuna asked in his innocent facade as he tilted his head.

Luce squealed as she hugged the little boy.

(Yes, they haven't turned into Arcobalenos yet.)

Tsuna knew who these people were.

They were in the Vongola Files.

A gun shot sounded and Tsuna snapped his head to the man with the fedora.

The man smirked as he sensed no fear from the brunette.

"Im Reborn. The World's Greatest Hitman."

The blonde then followed, "Im Colonello! Kora!"

The woman with blue hair frowned, "Lal Mirch, Brat.."

The woman who was pregnant, grinned. "Im Luce."

Next, was the woman-which Tsuna assumed-who had herself covered her face in a dark hood and her body in a cloth.

"I need money for this... Im Viper.."

The man who looked Chinese and his black long hair braided.

"Hello there Dear child, my name is Fon.."

A man with a helmet and looked like a stunt man followed, "Its Skull-sama brat!"

"Shut Up Lackey!"

"Y-Yes, R-Reborn-senpai.."

Last but not the least, the man wifh the green hair glasses ended the introduction.

"You would make a fine test subject.. Its Verde." He told.

As Tsuna heard this, he smiled brightly, yes, it was real.

But when you look deep into his eyes, mischief was shown,which was not left unnoticed by the hitman.

Who knew this was an interesting turn of events..
